A power forward with good size and strength. Nino Niederreiter is a very good skater, who uses strong strides to gain decent top-speed. Stands strong on his skates and is hard to knock of the puck. A good forechecker, who will battle along the boards and in front of the net for loose pucks. Reads the play well and has the abilities to intercept passes. Owns a hard shot and has very good scoring touch. Niederreiter is a clutch player, who can score important goals. (by Rafik Soliman, March 2016)
